AFP, LONDONBritish Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson, a leading pro-Brexit campaigner, has told at least four EU ambassadors that he personally favors free movement with the bloc, Sky News said on Wednesday. Sky quoted four ambassadors as saying Johnson privately told them he supports freedom of movement, a key point of contention in Britain’s divorce from the EU. “Boris Johnson has been openly telling us that he is personally in favor of free movement,” one diplomat was quoted as saying. Another envoy corroborated the comments and said Johnson was speaking at an ambassadors’ lunch, Sky News said. Let’s remember, Boris Johnson was the figurehead of the Brexit campaign,” Clegg, former leader of the pro-EU Liberal Democrats, told Sky News.
